Chapter 1645 - Pretending To Be Strong (1/2)

Xin Ya smiled rather shyly. Her first job after leaving the countryside was to be a servant in the Gu family. She was very lucky to have met such a good person like Young Mistress. She knew that Young Mistress would not allow her to do most of the heavy lifting at home since she was still young. At most, Xin Ya would be asked to help Auntie Qian out.

Now that she was taking care of Mo Fei, she was just here to cook and wash clothes. Although Mo Fei acted very gangster-like, after spending a few days together, Xin Ya felt that this gangster-ish Mrs. Qian was quite a nice person. At least, she was nice to Xin Ya.

“Sit down and chat with me,” Mo Fei said as she watched Xin Ya sit down.

Xin Ya adjusted the blanket covering Mo Fei’s knees again. “Mrs. Qian is so beautiful.”

Mo Fei extended a hand to touch her face. Was she beautiful?

She had never taken a close look at her own face before. After all, she would never be able to live on just with her own face.

“You look young. Why didn’t you go to school?” Mo Fei asked.

“My family’s poor, and I have younger siblings, so I left home to work. I’m already eighteen, really,” said Xin Ya. She even raised a hand solemnly as though she was taking an oath.

Mo Fei leaned on the recliner and looked at the girl before her. She still had a family. How nice.

“Where are your parents?”

“They are farmers at home, but I’m earning a lot now. Young Mistress takes pity on me, so she pays me a lot. My family doesn’t need to worry anymore,” replied Xin Ya. She looked cute when she smiled.

She was an easily satisfied little girl.

She also had the innocence that Mo Fei did not have. It was not something that Mo Fei lost; innocence was merely something that Mo Fei never possessed.

“Mrs. Qian, where’s your family?” Xin Ya asked tentatively.

Family?

Mo Fei gripped her hands tightly. This word had never existed in her life before.

Qian Yikun leaned against the door of the guestroom and looked at the girl on the other side of the room. He did not miss the desolate look that flashed across the corners of her eyes.

Family.
